Across societies and economies, many of us take it for granted that we have reliable power at the flip of a switch, that water flows at the turn of a knob, or that goods are available at our fingertips. What we rarely think about are the sophisticated, interconnected processes, systems, technologies and operations working around the clock to enable everyday life as many of us know it. At the heart of what’s behind this seeming ‘magic’ in the background is process automation – orchestrating production and enabling safe and efficient operations of some of the most complex and vast infrastructures on our planet.

In this first episode host Fran Scott is joined by Peter Terwiesch, President of ABB’s Process Automation business area, to discuss what process automation is and how automation, electrification and digital technologies – through their role in industry – are contributing to life the way we know it and are enabling society to become more efficient and sustainable to make a world of difference. The Process Automation Podcast by ABB is a Fresh Air Production.
